Connie runs her hand through her hair. "Okay. Geez. Alright. Um, since the staff has their hands full, and I, um, actually know a fair bit because I read waaaay too many pamphlets, I guess it's up to me to give you the whole new person dance. Even though, um, I'm also new and it's also pretty confusing for me."
Taking a deep breath, she continues. "Alright, so, the pilots of this ship found you--and everybody else onboard--in this weird Interdimensional Cloud called the Dream Width, which is named that, because, um, it messes with your head until you can't distinguish memory from reality? I think? Anyways, this is a fairly regular occurrence, and there's an entire organization dedicated to studying the Dream Width and the people that come through it. Not that we're going to be subject to experimentation or anything!" Connie chuckles awkwardly, waving her hands.
"The world that we're currently heading down to is called Vaikuntha, and it's, er, pretty dangerous. It doesn't help that whatever skills you had previously have been completely nixed. Magic, psionics, even just the ability to competently swing a sword around all gone. Which brings me to what I've been stressing about." Connie shows Aqua some of the pamphlets. "Guilds cultivate these special magical... auras? called asterisks that give you some pretty nifty skills when you get them. Downside being you can only keep one asterisk active at a time. God, I just completely overwhelmed you, didn't I? I should know better, I was super confused when I had this all explained to me too, I'm sorry."
